In the new City Journal, Theodore Dalyrmple lays an unholy beatdown on Tony Blair’s decade as PM. I can’t do justice to its thoroughness, so give it a read.
It looks like there’s more fallout from having Terry Jones’ unfunny brother take over as PM: longtime VM reader and official pal Faiz K. is transferring from England to the U.S.! We’ll have to teach him all about REAL football, and why baseball isn’t as boring as it. . . oh, wait, it is.
Congrats on the impending move, Faiz! We’ll make Amurrricans of you and your family in short order!
Looking forward to being in the same time zone with you!
Oh, we all know you’re just moving here to follow Becks and Posh!
